Beat The Clock

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

Hope to capture more side views etc... in the near future and add it to this video. I rode about 5 hrs today and had a blast

As my good friend Kanticoy says, "Freedom is in the wind!"

Sick video Troy! A few times there I was ready for you to drag knee around some of those corners. You were throwing that thing all over the place!

love it!
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

Damn dude, that makes me all weak in the knees! I think the music fits this perfectly. Now I want to go out and ride. And that's what a video like this is supposed to make you want to do. I love it brother.
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

I can't watch vids at work, which is where most of my DTT surfing is done. I just watched it at home.

Troy thanks bro, it made me smile, it was almost like I was on BTC! Perfect song and mood setting! Great job man!

That is what it is all about man! That moment where you find peace with all and the wind begins to play a tune in your helmet, the band kicks in in your head, and sing out loud to a crowd of nature. The trees sway as you sing, and for that monent you are a star, and all is right with the world! Better than any drug for a high that you can only get from riding steel that you hands crafted!

I am a fan bro, I love it!
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

So glad you guys like it. I apologize to all the guys who can really ride. I'm pretty rusty and not very smooth. The music is by 16 Second Hum called "Father". It is just something I found on youtube. Tonight I'm mixing in some of the other footage we took. I think some of the files were too large because my editor kept locking up. I did manage to pull out some footage with decent scenery. Hopefully I'll have something posted soon.

So sorry I've not taken the time to do a write up on the seat. I promise I'll get on it soon.

To be honest I've had a grin on my face for the past two days. Even though farm projects are starting to take over I plan to be on the bike every chance I get this summer. Thank you to all those who helped make the "second coming" happen for me. Many shared parts and ideas made it onto this scoot and I'm forever grateful. I think the bike turned out the way she was intended and I couldn‘t have done it without my DTT brothers and sisters. From the bottom of my I heart thank you all! I can't wait to see you guys and gals this summer!
Twisted you are spot on brother. Thank you for putting it into perspective! Ride Free my friends, Ride Free

Thank you very much my friend. Welcome to the DTT family. I think you'll find many folk on here very helpful. Some of the best people I know live on these pages. Do you have a build thread yet? Since this is your first time be sure to do lots of reading and aks plenty of questions. Don't be afraid of getting flamed. The DTT brothers and sisters are real class acts and realize we all started somewhere. If I can be anyhelp please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for the props. I greatly appreciate it. The wheels are stock and the tires are Duro brand. I recommend doing some research on tire brands and sizes before making a purchase. I just did a write up a couple of days ago on a personal message I received about going up in tire size. If you'd like I can post it up here for you. It is a subject that has been beat to death but for good reason. Just let me know. Good luck with your project and again if I can be of any help just ask.

Troy love the video! Very nice camera work and the bars look incredible. I would love any research you have done on tire brands and sizes. My plan was to go up in tire size but not drastically. I will start a thread on my build soon but I am a single dad with 3 kids working 2 jobs and do not get alot of down time. Also where did you get the throttle assembly, I like it. Thanks again
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

Love the vid Troy. Can't wait to get mine all nice and legal and bolt up a camera to it.

Have you thought of pointing the camera behind the bike instead of at your behind? I think it would give a great view of where you've been and what you passed!

No offense to your behind!

Glad you like the vid. I think the next one is a little better though. I just added a little footage to what was there.
I'm also glad you appreciate the bars. I think they give her a little throw back to the cafe racer. Also everyone that has seen the bars can't believe they were painted with spray paint. The epoxy paint still blows me away.
And brother I have so much respect for you. I had help raising my children and when I look back I have no idea how we did what we did. I can't imagine doing it solo. Bless you man! The reward will be huge at the end!
About the tires, I wanted to purchase the most vintage looking (cheapest) tire I could afford. That happened to be the Duro purchased from American Tire on line. I'm sorry I dont have the model or the link but I'll search. If you would like I can send you a write up that I did about my tires. Just let me know. To give you alittle info here I'm running a 4.0 on both the front and back on the factory rims. It is not for everyone.
wide tires on narrow rims produce a taller tire and hence have less tread to road contact etc,etc, etc...Having said that I've not had any problems. Hope this helps. I'll be watching for your thread brother.

thanks man I really appreciate it. Believe it or not I did point it back but that footage kept locking up my editing program. In fact I shot a bunch of footage that I couldn't use. I really need to purge some of the crap on my computer. I'm sure that will help. What's wrong with my butt any how? ;D

Cool Cresent I'm glad I gave you some entertainment. I'll expect the same from you when the time comes ;D I'm happy that all you fools liked it. After all you guys were a major motivating factor. I really do appreciate all the help and comments! You all are a fine group of people! I figure a little video footage is the least I can do!
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

Ok guys and gals this is the final version:
Not much different...but a little... At times I felt like I was riding in a post card.
Hope you enjoy

Re: 360 beat the clock

Troy, that is a beautiful country ride. God bless America man. where I live is very similar (North Carolina)
Your 360 is looking great, it's always a pleasure watching your work and videos. Keep up the top notch work !
 
Re: 360 beat the clock

Thanks guys. Footage is about as open country as it gets here but I decided to include it because I like that area. Glad you enjoyed.
Appreciate the props xulf. I'm ready to build my next but it won't be for sometime.
Can't wait till my next chance to ride! Today we are spreading lime on the fields and its not so glamorous.

Man, those of you who can't watch videos at work should count yourselves as lucky. Now my afternoon is going to take FOREVER! This makes me wanna play.
